Hello,

I gave my GMAT on 6th Jan 2016(Bangalore, India) and received an unofficial score. The problem is that it is almost 20 days and I have not received my official score. On MBA . com it does not display anything under status. Could you please HELP, as I have submmited my application to B-school with unofficial score and they expect an official score.

Please let me know if I need to provide any further details.

Best Regards,
Rahul Singh Rana

Hello,

I wanted to know whether the duration in which we finish our respective sections matter in the evaluation or not ?
What I mean to say is if we finish a section faster by say 5 minutes, would we have a better score in that section or is the marking done purely on the basis of the questions which we have answered right or wrong ?

Hello,

Great question! No, speed is not a factor and will have no impact on your score. So we would recommend you focus on completing the sections in the time given for each one.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

I purchased GMATPrep® Exam Pack 1 in Order #0027-2031-8570 on Jan 26th.
I installed GMAT prep and software and wanted to activate my exam pack. However, when I try to activate my purchased exam pack with given activation code in my product purchases, I get an error that says "License number has already been used". I have activated it on one computer only and now I have deactivated it from there and want to activate it on my laptop. It was indeed used by me only by my account but I do want to use it again. I don't understand why I cannot refer back to something that I already purchased.

I have to appear for the exam soon and need these exams for practice. I request you to please help me out with this situation.

Regards
Bilal

Thank you Jeremy for answering the query. Sometimes these small queries end up into a big problem. :-D

As you may have seen, Exam Pack 2 is coming very soon (within the next month). We don't have an official release date yet, but once we do, I'll be sure to post it here.

Thanks,

Hi Jeremy,

Every now and then, Additional contents such as "ExamPack1" and "QuestionPack1" deactivates. And any attempt to Activate is again is just futile. So, the only option to get it working is a re-install. I have done this at least 10 times already. Is this a bug or a known issue ?
OS : Mac OSX.

OS : Mac OSX.

If your operating system is a MAC OS X 10.10 or higher, then this is a known issue that affects users on Apple computers running OS X version 10.10 Yosemite or higher. At this time, the GMATPrep software is only compatible with MAC OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9. Our software developer is aware of the issue and is currently working on an update to fix this compatibility issue. You can restore the activation status of the Exam Pack 1 and Question Pack 1 on GMATPrep by following the steps below:

1. Do NOT uninstall the current installation of GMATPrep.
2. Go to https://www.mba.com/gmatprep to download the latest version of GMATPrep (v 2.3.322) software.
3. Open the downloaded file “GMATPrep-2.3.322-MaxOSX.dmg”
4. Open the installation file “Install.app” to begin the installation process.
5. If and when asked if you want to upgrade the current GMATPrep software with GMATPrep 2.3.322, select Yes to continue with installation.
6. Follow instructions on the installation wizard to install GMATPrep.
7. Near the end of the installation process, the installation wizard may display the following error: “Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly…” Click OK to dismiss the error message and let it finish the installation process.
8. Launch GMATPrep.

Now the Exam Pack 1/Question Pack 1 should appear correctly as being activated (if previously activated on the same computer).

After every reboot, repeat steps 3 through 8 to install GMATPrep again. You do NOT need to uninstall GMATPrep before reinstalling. You also do NOT need to deactivate or reactivate the Exam Pack 1/Question Pack 1.

Hi Jeremy,

I have a question about the new "reinstate your score" feature. I have taken several GMATs and for the life of me, I can't remember my splits or IR score on my second exam. If I decide to reinstate a score, is there a way for us to see all of the scores to determine which one we want to reinstate? I think this would especially apply to people who have taken the GMAT 5+ times over a several year period.

I tried to click on "reinstate your score" to see if it gives you a preview - it doesn't.

Thanks!

The GMAC is aware of this issue, though I don't know whether they've done anything about it.

If it's urgent, you could just get the ESR. That will show you all your scores (except AWA).

Jeremy,

You mentioned late-2015 ETA for Exam Pack 2. Can you update this for us?

This software is by far the most valuable prep tool, but desperately needs a larger question bank and more analytics so that motivated studiers can better gauge their preparedness. Has GMAC ever considered open-sourcing any aspect of this software?

For example, let's assume GMAC is unwilling to reveal code or specific details related to the scoring or CAT algorithms. But maybe instead of open-sourcing the whole thing, GMAC could expand the question bank by accepting user-written questions. These user-written questions could be evaluated through a similar tool as used for "experimental" questions on the real exam, and then be uploaded into a massive question-bank database that drives the software.

Alternatively, open-source the whole damn thing on github. There are a lot of really smart people on here, some percentage of which are talented software developers. So you could get thousands of hours of expert code-writing for free.

Overall, there is infinite demand for more GMAC prep material. Someone there needs to figure out how to provide it.

Hello,

That did not happen as originally expected (clearly - since we're now in 2016), and we are still developing a final launch date for the new software. Once I have an update on this, I'll be sure to share it here. We know there is a desire for more prep materials and are looking to provide that for our users. Thank you for your input and ideas - I will certainly share this with our product teams.

Thanks,
Jeremy
